Its funny that nobody is saying that how this will effect the recruitment of tim settle who is absolutely a game changer like we have not seen!!!!
Reminds me of Brandon Hogan who played at nearby Osbourn. Played QB and DB in high school. Went on to have a pretty good career at DB for the hated Moutaineers.
The most frustrating part was that it lasted 10 minutes and then was done. It was then gorgeous the rest of the day. I get being cold. But, I should have grown a pair and stayed at the game. Relationship was running on fumes then anyway.
Didn't we go through this for last year's FSU game? Maroon is maroon. Crimson is crimson. Know the difference, and there isn't a problem.
247 crystal ball had him going to UVa 100%. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh! Wrong answer.
Question regarding student Bama Tickets. If you bought them right when they were released on hokietickets are you pretty much guaranteed to have lower level seats? Or will it depend on when you pick them up from Cassell?
Ahh gotcha, not sure who I am confusing him with then!
Edit: Lamont Simmons?
Always great news to land a new commit, welcome aboard, Greg Stroman!
And it's always fun to watch disappointed cavs (this one from my neighborhood):
Stonewall Jackson athlete Greg Stroman has committed to Virginia Tech over offers from Virginia, Duke, Wisconsin, and Old Dominion.— Brad Franklin (@Cavs_Corner) August 3, 2013
He is listed at 5'-11", 160, so on the smaller end for a corner. Prime for some Gentrification, if you ask me. Love his wheels and quick direction change.
Not much of a better way to wrap up a week than by taking two recruits from uva. Its like we can't stop beating them in everything they try
So DBU will be very deep in the 2014 class with H. Fisher, C Jefferson, CJ Reavis, S Payne, G Stroman. Maybe Travon McMillan and T Edmunds and if we land Lamont Simmons.
Welcome to Hokie Nation, Greg! Stonewall was my rival HS back in the day, glad to be able to cheer for you in the Maroon and Orange!
Jesus. that was painful to watch again.
I was looking at this kid thinking well UVA does need a QB and 247 was reporting 100% UVA... once again they are wrong, their crystal ball predictions are starting to fail more and more... especially when you say 100% LOL.
Looks like everyone was trying to post it haha! But it's such a great feeling to land a commitment from a player that was considered to be a LOLUVA lean
Yeah I think that is where he will ultimately play. I think he is pretty big for a corner too, which I like!
You beat me to the blog post. COMPLETELY SHOCKED. What is funny is on the 247 VTScoop forum covering the announcement, people were saying things like, "I can't believe that the Hoos are sweating his announcement. It's like they're the only ones who don't know that he's theirs."
Unreal, great grab and a total upset. I'm pleased with the string of good news of late. Lets keep things rolling!
Was just starting a topic haha but ya beat me too it. Glad to see another commitment! He looks like an awesome get! go Hokies!
From what I gathered he will be playing DB for tech
I'll say this. I got Row 2 in for the 2012 Sugar Bowl approximately 35 yd line, which ended up being the closest row (no Row 1). The seats were amazing. I don't know about the Georgia Dome, but in the Superdome the seats are raised, so no problems with the players and coaches blocking your view.
Also, my wife was on TV with a look of disgust/confusion on this infamous play:
Agreed, it would definitely help to have some former teammates recruiting him. Especially because it looks like he is gonna rack up a ton of offers
Wow thoroughly impressed by his film! Hard to believe that it's only has sophomore film!
The defense was back for the second half of last year. No way we keep it close against FSU, or beat LOLUVA or Rutgers without Foster changing to his aggressive scheme. But those last two games were defensive domination, lunchpail-style.
Check out Campus Emporium. They have a decent amount of stuff left.
2015 5-star defensive tackle Tim Settle tweeted this shortly after Stroman's announcement.
I think we're still a longshot to land Settle, but things are definitely looking up. By the way, Settle is a beast on the field.
